PACT, factual programming from UK
PACT is the association of independent producers of the United Kingdom. John McVay, CEO, said: We represent more than 450 different producers, about films, TV series, children and animation, factual, digital we include from worldwide leading format companies as Shine, Zodiak, All3Media, etc., to very small ones'.'What we don’t have is non-business ventures: culture, documentaries, not for sale, just to receive Government subsidies, as it is common in other entities. We generate high-quality programming for people to watch’.
‘Factual programming is one of the hot topics of the content market nowadays, and we are top sellers about: 53% of all the format sales of the genre are from the United Kingdom, and 80% of those are through independent producers. We are taking 50% of the TV production in UK. With all our members together, our slate is more important than the BBC one’.
‘We want to do business worldwide, especially with the emergent markets where the fast-growing side of the TV industry is held. We are making focus on Latin America, we’ve been attending the Rio Content Market and we have an alliance with ABPI-Brazilian TV Producers to promote projects together. We want to go forward with other countries, too. The co-production models are a great way to enrich markets and to expand business frontiers’.
